Maxi Drivers Association and Others v Registrar of Public Transport and Others (18353/2011)

Maxi Drivers Association and Others v Registrar of Public Transport and Others (18353/2011) [2011] ZAGPJHC 137 (23 August 2011)

The court found that the applicants have used the name Maxi Drivers Association since at least 1997, while the 8th respondent registered as a Section 21 Company in 2003 and conducts a similar business under the same name.

In the absence of further evidence, the applicants are entitled to an interim interdict restraining the respondents from using the name Maxi Drivers Association. The matter is postponed sine die, and the respondents may seek reconsideration upon providing further evidence.
